What political reforms did the populist party call for

History
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The party adopted a platform calling for free coinage of silver, abolition of national banks, a subtreasury scheme or some similar system, a graduated income tax, plenty of paper money, government ownership of all forms of transportation and communication, election of Senators by direct vote of the people, nonownership of land by foreigners, civil service reform, a working day of eight hours, postal banks, pensions, revision of the law of contracts, and reform of immigration regulations. The goal of the Populists in 1892 was no less than that of replacing the Democrats as the nation's second party by forming an alliance of the farmers of the West and South with the industrial workers of the East. James B. Weaver was the Populist candidate for President that year, and he polled over 1,041,000 votes. The Populist votes in the 1894 congressional elections increased to 1,471,000 as the party gained momentum. (got the answer from a random website)

9. How do you think Robert Kennedy felt during this meeting? Provide evidence.
Helen [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide any reference to the kind of meeting it is talking about or any reference at all, we can say that it refers to the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. Robert Kennedy had meetings with USSR leaders to negotiate and avoid what was imminently coming, a war confrontation between the two superpowers. I think Robert Kennedy felt tense and nervous during the meeting because he had told Russian leader Khrushchev that the United States would slowly remove its missiles in Turkey, if the Soviet Union would remove its missiles from the Island of Cuba, that is 90 miles south the Florida peninsula. Those were tense and critic moments in which the world was on the brink of another world war.
